                       BeGreen Priming –
                       The chemical-free way
                       of seed processing

                       We at Benary feel responsible for the future;
                       for straight forward ecological solutions
                       with sustainability.
                          “Priming” is a specialized seed technology which
                          speeds up germination and increases uniformity.

                          Currently seed processing companies are using
                          fungicides and other chemicals when priming
                          Pansies and Violas.
                          Benary developed an innovative priming method:
                          “BeGreen Priming”.
                          We are the first seed breeding & seed processing
                          company for ornamentals to deliver chemical-free
                          primed seeds to our customers. No fungicides are
                          applied. Thus Benary has taken a big step forward
                          to protect our environment.
